David Manney, L&S Electric 11/18/2016 Controlling equipment has always been of interest in industrial applications. Before modern-day computers came into existence, […]

Inductive Factor 1 Sensors

Constant distance towards any metal Inductive Factor 1 sensors offer the great benefit of maintaining the same sensing distance towards all metals. Unlike standard sensors where this value changes, depending on the material. The benefits of Factor 1 sensors are obvious: This uniform distance offers outstanding flexibility in system conception and sensor installation. Contrary to […]

Laser Distance Sensor for Glossy, Coarse Surfaces

Baumer offers their new MESAX laser distance sensor for measuring demanding surfaces. Baumer offers their new MESAX laser distance sensor for measuring demanding surfaces. The new multi-spot sensor works without external software and is based on the light section method. Up to 600 measured values of an object are recorded and the distance is then […]

Encoders For Medical Imaging

  Thanks to advancements in medical imaging technology in recent decades, doctors are now able to capture in seconds what used to take hours for diagnosis. MRI is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures. Dynapar offers a range of industry duty […]

Different Types and Applications Of Totalizing Counters

Totalizers are counters that “total” the number of cycles applied to their inputs. The totalizing function does not provide control outputs or preset limits, although some of our multi-function products have the totalizing capability as well as output and control functions. They may be a mechanical counter, electromechanical counter or an electronic counter, all of […]
